Hi,

	I've noticed that often when I click on a piece of equipment, the
reservation window appears to update, but does not correctly populate
unless I click on the part of the window.

Team Coral:

I have a parent teacher meeting for my son at 12:15 today. I'm toast if
I miss the meeting. I hope it will be mercifully short. I'll be back
afterwards.

Also I need to make a Fry's run to get parts. I'll get prices for the PO
today/this weekend and buy the goods shortly.  Let me know if you need
anything.

John & Bill,

We may be able to get one of their old ones when they phase them out.
If we move to a single LAN then we could  use a cheap hub as a fall back
and run patch cables to the other switch for "outside" ports.  We would
need one for Rosen and one for SNF.  In any event switches fail
infrequently (I probably shouldn't have said that.)

Subject: Problem with password
Message-ID: <3A3A58EF.E400F88B@ssrl.slac.stanford.edu>

Hi,

I have set my "Coral Remote access password" at SNF this morning, as
instructed by your email yesterday.
Now, I have installed Java Web Start on my office PC, and it appears to
be working well with my netscape 4.76.

But when I try to log in to remote coral, I get the message that my
password is wrong. I am absolutely sure I typed the same that I set this
morning, and that no "Caps Lock" or other problem exists with my
keyboard.

Is there a minimum wait time between setting a password and using it,
or can you think of any other possible reason for trouble?

thanks for any info,

Daniel

Hi-

I'm having problems installing Remote Coral on my PC's. After downloading
and installing Java Web Start, I went back to the Remote Coral Access Page
on the SNF web site, but cannot find the "Launch Remote Coral" link that
was mentioned. Remove Coral Access page only has 3 items ("Need to install
Java Web Start". "Need to install Java Web Start (Note: Extreme
Caution!!!)", and "Download Java Web Start"), and only the last item is a
hyperlink. Please let me know if I'm not looking in the right
places. Thanks.

I have attempted to use remote login.  I get login window on my
PC(win98) but when I put in my login and password it sometimes hangs up 
for a while and then always responds that the authentication
failed.  There is no way to cancel the login window and after three tries
it complains that no. of tries maxed out.  I changed my remote password on
coral but that did not help either.  My coral login is 'jawad'.  Can you
please take a look.

Both Sunrays at the entrance to the cleanroom are locked up.  Also, there
are no undead cards to try and bypass this state.  One terminal is
displaying a green newt, the other was fine, then I tried to log in and
the screen went black and stayed that way for at least several minutes (I
got tired of waiting).

Beth,

I fixed a problem earlier with the 2 sunrays at the lab entrance. If
this is somewhere else let me know and I'll check it out. You can call
me at 5-9503.

Thanks for letting me know.
